It is so (sorry Bob) goddamn unfair that we have a Pope who's freely engaging in baseball shit talk as the Popemobile rolls through Rome, and we can't even enjoy it because the world is going to hell as fast as it can move.

Really disappointed in how the Pfister ghosts performed for Games 1 and 2, too. Just disappeared in big spots.

Teoscar Hernández homered in Game 2 of the NLCS in Milwaukee. He and his wife also moved to a different hotel on the road

NLCS Game 2 notes: Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Max Muncy, Teoscar Hernández

Yoshinobu Yamamoto was exactly what the Dodgers needed on Tuesday as they head back to Los Angeles with a 2-0 series lead in the NLCS over the Milwaukee Brewers.

Also that! They don’t have to choose between using resources to pump up R&D like the Brewers or using that money to sign guys who have already proven themselves in the majors, they can do both. And that’s what teams with those means should be doing!

The only time in our nearly two decade relationship that I’ve made more money than my wife is when I got “academically suspended” from going to Wisconsin for a year so I bartended full-time while she finished college.

IMO dudes should be normal and not weird about having a successful wife/partner.

Ok but could he get a hit off of a future Cy Young pitcher in his college days?

This is why Jordan from the current season of Love Is Blind is the most trustworthy guy in the show's history and why I'm gonna scream if he and Sparkle Megan don't live happily ever after

The term "toxic masculinity" is overused but it applies to the guys who get so mad at having a successful wife that they divorce them www.businessinsider.com/troubling-re...

Yes, and they have funds to the point where that kinda stops mattering. The disparity isn’t about (or isn’t JUST about) paying for the guys who are on the field now, but the ability to shrug and eat the back end of those deals while signing new guys

Something I keep coming back to in my own mind: even if the salary cap is something like $200 million (which might even be low), what good does that do for teams like the Brewers, who don’t want to spend to that level already? Even a floor of $100 million won’t fix that.

I also hope that by the end of the series, if it ends the way it’s looking now, that folks don’t dwell too much on the payroll thing. This happens whether Snell and Yamamoto are making $30 million/year or $15 million/year.

To make this more insane, the Brewers had 8 ABs with RISP in the first INNING of game 1 vs. the Cubs. They have 8 in their last 35 innings

Dodgers are 7-1 this postseason, and 17-4 in their last 21 playoff games.

One singular AB with runners in scoring position this series. It was Turang’s K to end game 1. Can’t create havoc in the bases if you don’t get on base

I’m not even really mad about how things have played out so far. The lack of expectations (while still having hope) is probably the reason, but this is also looking like an all-time elite postseason rotation. Hard to even work counts when they’re dotting every corner.

This is what they did better than anyone for most of the year, and…

James Vandenberg @jamesvandy3.bsky.social · 1d

The brewers only have 8 ABs with runners in scoring position in the last 4 games. They are 0-8

In the series where it's imperative you get to the bullpen, having back-to-back starters flirt with complete games is a bad portent for being able to come from behind.
